Specification of Letters Patent. Patented June 11, 1907.

' Application filed August 29,1906. Serial No. 332,476.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE H. TATGE, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of Randolph,

the arrangement described the operator can conveniently engage thesocket F with the nut to be turned, especially as the socket F is spaceda desired distance from the shaft B owing to the use of the train ofgear wheels, consisting of the gear wheels C, D and E. By arranging theaxes of the several gear wheels C. D and E in the same vertical plane,it is evident that the wrench can be made very narrow so as to permitconvenient engagement'of the socket F with the nut to be turned. It willalso be noticed that the socket F can be readily interchanged with asocket of larger or smaller size, to suit difler ent sizes of nuts to beturned.

By using a separate handle G for turning the shaft B it is evident thatthe wrench can beconveniently manipulated in inaccessible places inwhich only a partial turning of the shaft B at a time is permissibleuntil the position of the handle G is changed in the eye B.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent:

A wrench comprising a frame composed of a plurality of plates, each ofsaid plates being arranged in parallelism and spaced apart from eachother, and each being provided with an angular portion, said. angularportions being secured together, a shaft journaled in the plates andprovided with a gear thcrebetween, a second shaft journaled in theplates, said second shaft having a socket outside of the plates, and agear wheel therebetween, an idler gear journaled between the plates andmeshing with both of said first named gears, said first named shaftbeing extended outside of the plates to form a handle, and one of saidplates having its angular portion extended to form a bearing for thehandle.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name'to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

GEORGE H. TATGE. IVitnesses:

C. B. WILLEY, W. H. STAGEMAN.

1n the county of Cedar and State of Nebraska, have invented a new andImproved Wrench, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved wrench,more especially designed for screwing up or unscrewing the nuts on theteeth of threshing machine cylinders.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations ofthe same, which will be more fully described hereinafter and thenpointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all theviews.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improve ment; Fig. 2 is a sectionalplan view of the same on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a sideelevation of the handle for turning the shaft.

On a suitably constructed supporting frame A is journaled a shaft Bcarrying at one end a gear wheel C in mesh with an intermediate gearwheel I) meshing with a gear wheel E secured on the shank F of a nutsocket F for engaging the nut to be screwed up or unscrewed on the toothof a threshing machine cylinder. The shank F of the socket F is in theform of a shaft journaled in the supporting frameA, so that when theshaft B is turned in one direction then the intermediate gear wheel D isturned in the reverse direction, and the gear wheel E for the socket Fis turned in the same direction as the shaft B and its gear wheel C. Nowin order to conveniently turn the shaft B by hand, the upper or outerend thereof termifor receiving a handle G in the form of an angular bar(illustrated in Fig. 3) so that the operator can conveniently turn theshaft B to rotate the socket F in the same direction in which the shaftB is turned.
